Isley Bell LCMHCA
I support Couples, Young Adults, & Families
Isley Bell, LCMHCA is a calm and relatable therapist who supports adults, couples, families, and LGBTQ+ individuals through life’s stressors with empathy, honesty, and a touch of dry humor. Known for her warm smile and down-to-earth energy, Isley creates a space where you can be fully yourself — without pressure or pretense.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, feeling the weight of anxiety or self-doubt, or trying to strengthen your relationships, therapy with Isley feels like talking to someone who truly gets it. Using a blend of CBT, person-centered therapy, and creative art-based techniques, she meets you where you are and walks alongside you toward healing and growth.
Isley offers in-person sessions in Gastonia, NC and virtual therapy across the state. Note: Insurance doesn’t always cover couples or family therapy, since it often requires naming one person as “the patient.” We offer this work as private pay so we can focus on your relationship—not a diagnosis.

I make it a point to understand each client’s culture, identity, and life experience because they shape who they are. I always emphasize your strengths and your resilience in life. I believe that supporting you in self-reflection helps you see not only the ways you can grow but also what makes you the person you are. The thing that makes you unique. I can support you in person and virtually, but I find that for my little ones, in-person works best. I like to do hands-on activities that help them forget that we are there to talk about the challenges. I find that it helps them connect in the moment and feel seen. I want to show children that it’s okay to have emotions and that we can work through them together. They’re not alone.
